Introduction
CR021R is standard Art-Net Node. Because of this, you can use the device
with any application, console, or controller that supports Art-Net to
distribute Art-Net data via Ethernet network. Commonly the CR021R can be
used to extend the DMX output ports of tiger touch and MA2.

Menu item
Pay attention to the items
1
Setting IP address
Each network set must have a unique IP address (not Other network
equipment occupancy) and the same subnet mask, otherwise will
cause the network does not work.
2
Setting subnet mask
The subnet mask is 255.x.y.z, do not need to modify x, y, z one by one,
we provide the subnet mask from menu table, there are 23 subnet
mask which may be used, select the subnet mask that you want to set
code on it.
3
Setting port of subnet
address
Each network (Net) of Art-Net includes 16 (universe)
The range is 0-15.
4
Setting port of
network address
Each network (Net) of Art-Net includes 256 route (universe),
Settings range from 0-127,
5
Setting the NIC's
MAC address
Each network device have a network card, each card must have
Unique MAC address d-00-22-a8-00-64, and the last 3 values of this
card’s MAC address already have been binding with the last 3 values
of IP address, can effectively prevent the collision about the MAC
address. If there is NIC conflict, the user can modify the second, the
third bytes of the MAC address.
6
default set
CR051R support default set, If you want to reset, all the parameters
which have been kept before, will modify the original parameters,
include the transmission mode , input mode also will be converted to
output mode, and the network parameter, Port addresses will be
initialized to default values.
